CNN tried to spin this by saying Kerry got a higher number among registered voters, and explaining the difference between the two. The only reason they did this was because they were shocked by the results.
This makes no sense. Aren't "likely" voters also registered (i.e., don't pollsters ask "Are you a registered voter?" as a follow-up to a positive answer to the "Do you plan on voting in the November presidential election?")
If so, how can Kerry lead among "registered" voters yet trail among "likely" voters in the same poll? Doesn't seem likely to me, at least.
Hillary is LOVING this! She's got '08 locked up now if she can have Kerry go down the dumps.
